Problem 4 Got It? A geometric sequence has an initial value of 2 and a common ratio of 3.

Write a function to represent the sequence in the response field.
Graph the function on the canvas. Include all relevant graph detail.
You may complete your work on paper or on a whiteboard and upload a clear picture of it to the canvas.
